What is the purpose of wetting the glass tubing before inserting into a stopper?
Wetting the glass tubing before inserting it into a stopper helps create a better seal by reducing the risk of air pockets. The water acts as a lubricant, making it easier to insert the glass tube into the stopper without damaging either component.
What is the correct method of removing a glass stopper?
To remove a glass stopper, start by gently tapping the sides with a rubber mallet to loosen it. Then, carefully twist the stopper while pulling it upwards to remove it from the bottle. If the stopper is still stuck, try using hot water to expand the glass before attempting to remove it again.
When inserting glass tubing why is it important that you wear safety goggles and gloves or cover the tubing and stopper with protective pads of cloth?
It is important to wear safety goggles and gloves when inserting glass tubing to protect against potential injury from broken glass. Covering the tubing and stopper with protective pads of cloth can help prevent the glass from shattering and causing harm if it breaks. These precautions reduce the risk of cuts and injuries to the hands and eyes.
What happens when you mix glass and rubber?
When glass and rubber are mixed together, they do not chemically bond. Glass and rubber have different properties and do not typically adhere to each other. The resulting mixture would likely separate into distinct glass and rubber components.
What is the difference between a stopper and a bung?
A bung is almost always made of plastic/rubber and it could have a hole in it to allow you to insert glass tubes/thermometers etc. These are the ones which you usually use to close off test tubes for short periods of time (i.e, during a reaction etc.) A stopper on the other hand usually refers to a glass stopper which could go in an Erlenmeyer flask for storage or in a separating funnel when it is being inverted and shaken. It is confusing because people often refer to bungs as stoppers and say 'stopper off the test tube' when they mean for you to use a bung. The general rule of thumb is that a bung is usually used in place of a stopper unless you are specifically told to do so!!
What are the safety precautions and techniques when inserting a glass tubing in a rubber stopper?
never attempt to insert glass tubing that has a jagged end, all glass tubing should be fire polished before its inserted into a rubber stopper. Use water or glycerin as a lubricant at the end of the glass tubing before inserting it into the rubber stopper. ask teacher for proper lubricant. Protect hands and fingers by wearing leather gloves or placing a folded cloth between your hands and the tubing. hold it as close as possible to the part it is inserted to the rubber stopper. always point the tubing away from the palm of your hand that holds the stopper. use a twisting motion and push the tubing into the stopper. At the end of the experiment put on leather gloves or place the folded cloth between your hands and the tubing and remover the stoppers from the tubing to keep them from sticking to the glass. if it wont budge, use lubricant.

Why should be cork and glass tubing be moistened with water and glycerin respectively?
I have no idea what you are really talking about exactly, but I assume you are referring to using water to lubricate a glass tube before trying to push it through a rubber stopper with a hole in it. The water will help the glass slide through the small rubber opening, which can be sticky otherwise.
Before inserting the glass tubing into a stopper why is it nesessary to use a lubricant?
The purpose is to allow an easy insertion.
When magnesium reacts quickly with hydrochloric acis to produce hydrogen gas in a glass tube with a rubber stopper why would the rubber stopper burst of?
The reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid produces hydrogen gas, which builds up pressure inside the closed glass tube. If the pressure exceeds the strength of the rubber stopper, it will burst off to release the built-up pressure and prevent the glass tube from breaking due to the increased pressure.

The hole in a rubber stopper is used to allow for the insertion of glass tubing or a thermometer into a container without disrupting the seal created by the stopper. This allows for measurements or additions to be made to the container while maintaining a closed system.

I have a beautiful glass globe hummingbird feeder that has a rubber stopper. How can I stop the nectar from leaking out of the stopper?
If there is debris on the stopper it might be preventing a good seal. Try removing the rubber stopper and wipe it off to remove any debris that might be on it. Clean out the hole that the stopper goes into as well. This will help ensure a clean seal between the hole and the stopper. Put the stopper back into the hole, making sure it is a tight fit. If it still leaks you may need to buy a new stopper.
How do you make fire extinguisher working model?
hey! You will need the following things : 1) a hollow glass tube or a eye dropper 2) a big glass bottle 3) a bottle of vinegar 4) a box of baking soda 6 ) a rubber or cork stopper that fit the big bottle 7) paper towel and a rubber band 8) water First thing to is remove the rubber squeeze bulb on the eye dropper and keep the glass tube and make a hole slightly smaller than the glass tube in the rubber or cork bottle stopper and insert the glass tube in the stopper until the tip of tube come out of the stopper . ( Do this slowly ; so not to break the glass) Put baking soda on the sheet of paper towel and attract the corners to the other end of the tube to the rubber stopper securing with the rubber band than fill the big bottle: 1/3 full of vinegar and the other 1/3 with water leaving the bottle about half full Than carefully insert the rubber stopper on the big bottle with the bag of soda hanging above the vinegar water solution. Make sure it a tight seal on the bottle when you ready to use Tip the bottle over and wait a minute or two than the water will shoot out of the tip and you have a working Fire extinguisher I hope this help
What used when a stopper is required?
A stopper can be made of various materials such as rubber, cork, or glass, depending on the application. Rubber stoppers are commonly used in laboratories for sealing test tubes or flasks, while cork stoppers are often used for sealing bottles of wine or spirits. Glass stoppers are also used for sealing high-end bottles and can provide an airtight seal.
